Description

Sun kissed fruit with a playful kick. Sugar Rush Peach (Capsicum baccatum) brings flavor first, ripe peach and tropical candy, then a clean rising heat in the medium hot range. It is the variety that convinced many growers that peppers can be dessert sweet and still bring real fire, a modern favorite for sauces, salsas, and fresh snacking straight from the vine.

The plants are vigorous and generous, typically 3 to 4 feet tall with a branching, semi vining habit that loads every stem with blossoms and long pendant pods. Medium green foliage frames cascades of fruit, so the plants look ornamental even before they color. The pods average 3 to 4 inches, slightly ribbed and pleasantly wrinkled, maturing from light lime to a soft glowing peach with thin, crisp walls that are ideal for quick drying, fermenting, or pickling.

Bite into one and you get a burst of juicy sweetness with notes of peach, melon, and citrus, followed by a warm persistent glow that never turns harsh. In the kitchen, a few slices lift fruit salsas, ceviche, and tacos. The thin walls make an exceptionally smooth fermented hot sauce. Dehydrated rings grind into a fragrant, sherbet colored powder that brightens rubs and vinaigrettes.

While C. baccatum peppers trace their heritage to Indigenous farmers of the Andes, Sugar Rush Peach is a contemporary selection shared widely by seed stewards and small breeders who prize its sweet and hot balance. It quickly became a cult classic among growers for its bumper yields, long harvest window, and unforgettable flavor, proof that a pepper can be equal parts candy and heat.
